With the likes of the Mazda5 and Chevrolet Orlando in its sights, Kia has released images of its Carens mini-minivan, or what’s known as the Rondo on our shores. Built on a new platform, the Carens/Rondo continues with the Korean automaker’s styling makeover that will also appear on the next-gen compact Forte. No news on powertrains yet. But we do know the compact Kia people mover will be offered in five-seat and seven-seat versions, and it will make its world debut at this month’s Paris auto show.
